i m wondering how come my piggies dont eat hay n vegetables...
i giving them plenty of alfafa hay... but the only sleep on it, or mess it on floor..
i feed them few pcs of pak-choi... they not interested.. i leave it in cage, and end up throw it away the other morning...
is it bcoz they r still too young?
If ur GP's too young maybe it's the cause, but maybe not. Better u introduce to them slowly.
My experienced before dis, I hav 2 Gp's but both buy at different places. At first I dont know and confuse what they eat, coz when I put pellet, hay, they just eat a little bit. Really worried, but after a week they start show their interest.
So, I try introduce to them veggies, they refuse. They just taste it if they eat just a little. One day when i check my GP's one of them , Helda(Normal GP) get diarhea. I dont know what to do, what i do is throw all the veggies away, but my chiko( abby GP) fine.
I give Helda water to drink but she wont, I just sit, hold her, and I'm look at her she just sit with no movement after 30 min, I realize dat she not move at all coz she dead.

. After dat I'm really scare to give veggies to my GP's but I'm slowly introduce them with salad. I saw dat its ok, at the end I introduce to them with capsicum, apple, carrot, spinach, cucumber,celery etc.

Fuh.. they can take it all nothing happen.
Even the babies already eat it maybe they follow what their mum eat so they eat and lucky nothing happen to them until now.
Whatever veggies u want give to them dont forget to wash it first.
